[65]. There is a chapter in Lepsius, Älteste Texte, p. 34, with the same title as chapter 51, but the contents are different.
CHAPTER LII.
Chapter whereby one eateth not dirt in the Netherworld.
I execrate, I execrate, I do not eat it.
That which I execrate is dirt. I eat it not, that I may appease my Genius([1]).
Let it not fall upon me; let me not approach it with my hands, let me not tread upon it with my sandals.
Henceforth let me live upon corn([2]) in your presence, ye gods, and let there come one who bringeth to me that I may feed from those seven loaves which he hath brought for Horus and upon the loaves for Thoth.
“What willst thou eat?” say the gods to him.
Let me eat under the Sycamore of Hathor the Sovereign, and let my turn be given to me among those who rest there.
